Will be writing another blog after all of these learning.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Kevinkevchooihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094769434828944171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166187273232032635.post-78153147500091708612011-05-24T23:03:37.389+08:002011-05-24T23:03:37.389+08:00Hi Kevin,

In march 2011 I started looking at medium format with digital backs, came out way too expensive (I was afraid of that), so I changed to film, then I wanted a Hasselblad, but eventually in April I ended up with a very nice Mamiya RB67 ProSD with 127mm k/L and it was love at first sight. Now I slowly start to develop my own black/white film, it is really very simple (never done that before). Hope to buy a 180mm sekor-c for portraits tomorrow and I&#39;m off in a whole new world of film photography. Good luck with yours and I hope we will make beautiful pictures with our Mamiyas.<br /><br />Best Regards, Niels van TolNiels van Tolhttp://meandiandmymamiya.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166187273232032635.post-27166880317072156472011-04-28T08:56:57.805+08:002011-04-28T08:56:57.805+08:00Jim - thanks so much for the input.

Of course the work of loading and unloading film takes time but not compared to large format sheet film cameras that require a dark room or dark bag.<br /><br />The beautiful thing about the RB is that it won&#39;t let you do to many things wrong. If you forget to focus you&#39;ll see that immediately in the viewfinder. If you forget either step of cocking the shutter or advancing the film it won&#39;t let you release the shutter. So focus, compose, pick an aperture and shutter speed and you are ready to go! And when you rotate the back you&#39;ll immediately see the change in your viewfinder. I would encourage you to pick up a waist level VF and give it a try. You&#39;ll be shocked by how bright it is and how easy it is to get precise focus accuracy!<br /><br />Have fun!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563033152493034064noreply@blogger.com
